This is my SECOND stop whenever I come to Boone (a couple times a year). The only reason it is my…read moresecond, is my cowboy boot store is right next to it and that's like going to church for me (haha!). Jennele, the owner, is the best! I'm from Chicago area and this boutique easily reminds me of a boutique you would find here. The clothes are very cute and they always have a sharp variety of shoes. If you are looking for a summer dress then this is the place to go! If you love scarves, candles and jewelry, you are going to be in heaven here. Tip: If you see something, do not wait to get it. Get whatever it is you want while your there because the next day it may not be there. I have done that one time and I will never do it again. She has a popular store, therefore items are not going to sit long. =)) I always have a great experience here and highly recommend!

I will always support an honest business…read more We rented skis for our 9 year old. Unfortunately another family grabbed his and we were out of luck. We put in requests at the ski resort and a few shops by the slopes to keep an eye out. As expected, we had to pay the fee for the "lost skis" but we're assured if they were turned in we would get a refund. My husband followed up after a week and the skis were not turned in. Several weeks later he got a call that they were located and a refund would be issued within the next 3-4 hours. And it was!! We learned to use Lockard after this experience. But we are so thankful the staff were honest and followed up with us as promised. Highly recommend this company for rental needs.

We had a group of 6 people rent boards as walk ins and they made it easy and convenient. They even…read moreprovided boards as it pertains to our experience level even without being asked. If you plan to buy clothes here they are a little expensive but the board and ski rental prices are very competitive. They also have a convenient drop box outside so we were able to enjoy the full 3 days we rented and deposited the boards in the drop box after they were closed. Which is nice because you don't have to rush a boarding session to return the boards on time. Over all great place, made our vacation easy and simple and I would definitely recommend. Although we have not been to the other shops near by so take it with a grain of salt but "First track" is a great option in my opinion.

I recently moved from Boone after living there for 3 years and have been back for the weekend just…read moreto visit. This downtown shop is new, so I decided to check it out yesterday while I was walking on King. It's super cute, and I'm glad I did. The place is very clean, the artwork and items for sale are trendy, cute, and relevant, and lots of things are noticeably handcrafted or homegrown in NC. I was sending pics (the ones I uploaded to this review) to a few friends and all of them were responding saying they wished they were there/could buy everything in the store/could decorate their homes like the store. Admittedly, the items for sale are a little pricy, but I'm a broke graduate student and also don't have an eye for art, so my thoughts are certainly biased. I wanted to buy something there to support the business, but have limited funds, so I had to be very selective and thoughtful about my purchase. If the prices were cheaper or I was richer, I would want mostly everything in the store. They even had cool drinks for sale.. After looking at the Common Good Co website, I see there's much more to this place than just a store! There's an art gallery and studio, and it looks like the company is working really hard to be integrated with and connected to the larger Boone community. The owners are a darling married couple that graduated from App State. They are actually living out my dream. #represent!
